Russia is gathering thousands of troops and evacuating citizens as it attempts to respond to what experts have called a major Ukrainian advance into Russia’s Kursk region.
Ukrainian troops launched a surprise offensive into Russia’s western Kursk region on Tuesday, in the most significant attack across the border since Moscow invaded in February 2022, with analysts estimating Ukrainian troops have penetrated nearly 40 kilometres into Russian territory.
Russia’s Defence Ministry said it was sending rocket launchers, artillery, tanks and heavy trucks to bolster its defences in the region, state media reported.
